"Let's part at this time, Mr. Captain."

On the streets of a coastal town, Erin says goodbye to the captain of the Fortune.

"Sister Dias, do you really not need me to send someone to **** you?"

He looked at the two sisters who were supposed to be Jiao Didi in a speechless manner, each leading a tall horse.

After landing in this town, "Sister Dias" bought two fast horses and matching outfits out of pocket, and she and her entourage transformed into heroic female equestrians.

In addition, he claimed to be proficient in swordsmanship on the ship before, and the image of the education supervisor in the captain's head is really very different.

But even so, the captain was still worried about letting the two female dolls leave by themselves.

In case something happens, will the lord blame me?

There is such a layer of worry deep in his heart.

"Mr. Captain, there is really no need. Thank you for your care along the way. Liya and I are no strangers to this area. There are acquaintances in the towns along the way to Jingyao who can ask for help. You have to organize people to transport the goods across the destination Well, I can't trouble you any more."

Although Erin's weapon is very kind, it also reveals determination.

"Oh, well...then you two should be more careful on the road, and wish you a smooth journey."

The captain confirmed that the other party was indeed unwilling to accept help.

"Thank you, and I wish you all the best, goodbye."

Irene and Liya got on their horses, waved goodbye to the captain and others, and left the town.

"In the past year since we left home, many major events have really happened in the Kingdom!"

After walking halfway, Irene suddenly sighed while riding on horseback.

The siege of Thorn Keep, the impending move of the Dukes of the East, the confrontation at Fougères, and the latest pirate invasion.

"Our kingdom . . . is full of disasters."

Irene suddenly choked up, "When my father and sister were thinking so hard, I actually hid in the Northwest Bay by myself..."

She also asked if she was regretting running away from home at that time.

Lina quickly came over to comfort her, "Your Highness, you are not hiding in the Northwest Bay. Earl Greiman can provide so much supplies to the Kingdom's army, and you are also a part of the credit. Think about the schools you run, can provide How many talents has the Earl cultivated?"

Irene shook her head: "Stop complimenting me, doesn't Paul often say a word? [Ten years to grow a tree, a hundred years to grow a man], now Arda's education career has just started, and there is nothing to see in a short time effect."

She laughed self-deprecatingly: "I guess it's not as good as that Hansel, at least he can attract a large number of people who can read and write from the capital..."

Just as she was about to continue, Liya suddenly made a silent movement.

"What's wrong?"

Liya said solemnly, "Your Highness, get your weapons ready." She also pulled out her sword.

Irene's face turned cold. She wasn't in a good mood at first, but now it's even worse. "Hmph, is there a nighter?"

She touched the sleeve arrow tied on her arm, it was a gift from Ladi before leaving, and it was used for self-defense on the road.

Liya glanced back, "Have you noticed the team behind us? I didn't think there was anything at first, but I just realized that they seem to be following us all the time."

"Is it just going the same way?"

"Even if we are on the same road, but we are fast, they are also fast, we slow down, they also slow down, just keep a distance that is not too far, what is going on?"

"You have to be right!" After being reminded by the female guard, Irene also became alert.

The two women didn't urge the horses to run fast, they just turned the horse's head and stood there solemnly watching the people who followed them.

There were 8 people in this group. Seeing the actions of the two women, they knew that they had aroused the other party's vigilance, so they also stopped.

The two sides stared at each other at a distance of tens of meters, and the atmosphere became weird for a while.

After confronting each other for more than a minute, Liya finally couldn't take it anymore, "Your Highness, I'll go over and ask."

"me and you together."

"No, you should stay here. If the other party gets into trouble, just ride your horse and go."

Irene narrowed her eyes and said jokingly: "Ha! Just a few thieves forced you to let the lord run first. Could it be that more than a year of teaching career has degraded you to this extent. Huh? My female knight .”

"Oh, okay." Liya knew the princess' temper.

Irene didn't worry much about the female guards. The people opposite were all dressed in civilian clothes, and they didn't seem to be carrying weapons such as swords. The gap in force between knights and civilians is not a joke. Even if Liya, a woman, is weaker than those men in strength, as long as she does not get close to her body, a female knight who has received martial arts training and holds a long sword is not a wild way. A born bandit can handle it.

However, when they were unexpected, the group of people on the opposite side ran towards them first.

Liya clamped the horse's belly with her legs, and pointed her long sword obliquely at the ground. When she was ready, Irene raised her arm directly and pointed the best sleeve arrow at the opponent.

The headed person on the opposite side waved repeatedly and shouted: "Don't get me wrong, my own people, my own people."

"Huh? Why is the voice so familiar?"

Irene was a little strange, but she still didn't let go of her sleeve arrow.

After they approached, Liya shouted: "Who are you guys? What's your intention of following us?"

"Don't worry, Lord Lia Lambert, listen to me explain slowly." The leader pulled his beard while pulling.

The two girls were shocked when he called out Liya's full name. However, when they were even more surprised, the other party's beard was fake, and he tore it off with force, revealing a face that they didn't expect—together The merchant Velos who took the fortune to the south.

The people behind Velos also took off their hoods or disguises one after another—it turned out that they were all passengers on the Fortune.

"Velos, it's you! I knew you had no good intentions!"

Irene pointed her sleeve arrow at him angrily. When he was on the boat, this guy was always turning around around her.

"His Royal Highness Irene! Please listen to my explanation."

Obviously, he knew Irene's identity, but Irene was not surprised, the other party called out Liya's full name.

Velos smiled wryly while raising his hands, "We followed the order of Ofina to lurk by your side to protect you."

What? Erin was taken aback.

Velos got off his horse took out a roll of paper and handed it over with both hands: "This is my proof, please check it."

Irene just wanted to pick it up, but was stopped by Liya, she picked it up by herself, took it apart and looked at it carefully.

She nodded to Irene: "It is indeed Ofina's handwriting, and the content is indeed as he said."

Irene stared at Velos: "Is it Sister Ofina? So...then it was Sister Wang's order?"

Velos bowed his head and said nothing, as acquiescence.

Irene suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "When did you lurk by our side?"

"Uh...Your Highness, don't be angry." Velos hesitated, hesitating: "We found you at Stone Fort, and then followed you all the way to the Northwest Bay."

He suddenly knelt down on one knee, "The time we met the black-spotted tiger in the forest, it was our lack of protection. Please forgive me."

At that time, they were also unfamiliar with the place, and Irene and Liya were running around in the forest and failed to keep up for a while. Fortunately, Paul and Ladi came to the rescue.

"Stone Fort? Isn't that not far from Jingyao?"

Irene was inexplicably discouraged. It turned out that her whereabouts had been controlled by Sister Wang.
